How to Use Remote Desktop Sharing in NetMeeting

The Windows NT-Server CD-ROM includes under \CLIENTS\SRVTOOLS the"Windows NT Server Tools" for both Windows NT workstation and Windows95(which work on Windows98), allowing to perform some common administration tasksfrom a Windows95/98 system (avoiding to have to walk to the server console).

However when a higher level of management is required (like: administration of an Exchange Server),a remote Control program like "pcAnyWhere" (to be purchased from Symantec) or

NetMeeting 3.x.x included free with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x ( previous versions of NetMeeting do NOT include this functionality).

is very helpful.However: compared to pcAnyWhere, it has limited File-Transfer capabilities,and I did have some stability problems with it on my NT4/SP6a server (but it is free.....)

Usually NetMeeting is used in "Conference" mode, where it can be used to give support, requiring an operator to be present at the remote system to accept an incoming call, but it isalso possible to configure NetMeeting for "Remote Desktop":
When installing Internet Explorer 5.x, make sure that "NetMeeting" is selected as one of theinstallation options. You will then find it under: "Programs" / "Accessories" / "Communications":

When you use NetMeeting thefirst time, it will go through aserious of screen for registrationand calibration. You can change all these settingslater under "Tools" / "Options".( if you have done this already,continue to "Enabling Sharing" )

You are forced to enter your name(first and last) and an e-mail address.You can enter your real address ora fake one (like I did)

Microsoft offers the use of a "Directory Server" via the Internet.For simple use on a LAN, that is notrequired, so deactivate it.

You need to define the connection speed.If you will make "Remote Desktop Control" only via the LAN, select LAN, but if you connect via a modem to the Server and then run "Remote Desktop Control" via thisdial-up connection, then please select the modem-speed (usually 28.800)(and if you modem is not already at least28.800, then BUY one now ! You need itto be able to work at an acceptablespeed )

I like a shortcut on my desktop.

Since NetMeeting is originally aconferencing software, it assumesthat you have a sound-card and amicrophone, which it will now attempt to calibrate.

If you do NOT have a Sound-cardin your NT4-server (which youdo NOT need for Remote Desktop),then just skip these calibrationswith "Next"

To enable"Remote Desktop Sharing",you must select in the menu:"Tools" to "Enable Sharing"

It will install additional software modules (it did not ask me for the IE 5.x CD-ROM), select "YES".After that, you will be asked to reboot.

Configuration of NetMeeting as RemoteAccess Host:

Once you "Enabled Sharing",then you can selectthe option for "Remote Desktop Sharing" to startup the Remote Desktop Sharing Wizard.

It is a very simple setup,mostly just informationfor you to read.

An important note:To connect to a desktop ofan NT-system, you will needto be Administrator.

I strongly suggest to activatea password protectedScreen-saver.

Done.

As stated on this screen:just exit NetMeeting, thenuse the icon in the taskbarto switch on/off the"NetMeeting Remote DesktopSharing"

Once you have activated "NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing", you can log off from theNT-system.Using NetMeeting to access a Remote Desktop

NetMeeting is then connecting to theremote system:

To connect to a remote system, start up NetMeeting, and make a"Call" (in my example via the IP-address).For access to an NT Remote Desktop,you need to place the checkmark on"Require security for this call".

Once connected, you will be prompted for theAdministrator password, required to gain accessto the NT-system (this is independent from aUser Login)

With a proper password, you will then seethe desktop of the remote system.

You can select to display the remote desktop as "Full Screen"windows, which is very handy when both systems have the samescreen resolution. Use the "Restore" displayed in thetop-right corner of the full-screen display to switch back.

Once you are connected, there may be a need to send from the menu "Control" a"Control-Alt-Delete", as required for example to get to the Logon-window :

Once you are finished with your work on theRemote computer, terminate the connection by"h
